I've had the same problem with this mouse several times since I started running 3.0 a few months ago. i haven't seen it since my latest make world (FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #2: Tue Dec 29 10:18:43 EST 1998), but that doesn't mean it went away. i am not running moused or using /dev/sysmouse on this system, since i only use the mouse from X. when it died, switching to a virtual console then back to X brought it back, but as you said it seemed to have lost sync (sluggish movement, button events mostly missed). i never encountered this problem with an older version of the mouse systems ps2 optical mouse on another machine running the same kernels. btw, not that it really matters, but when booting, the system incorrectly identifies it as a 2 button NetScroll mouse. -- Tom Uffner tom@wact.net Themes were useless!
